Shannon the Mommy Blogger

This podcast is about a few blog posts I had written not too long ago. I wanted to share both with you because God is with us in the good and in the bad. Even though 2020 has gotten most of us down, we are not out yet! God still has great plans for us. Armor up, warrior.

Between Kanye and Mama Beth, I’m getting on my soapbox today. We Christians must be better than this.

God wants us to approach Him with gladness and excitement, much like a toddler. But sometimes that isn’t the easiest thing. Today we are talking about my journey to Him on Shannon the Faith Blogger: The Podcast.

Gaslighting is a pretty popular topic these days. Let’s break it down biblically on this episode of Shannon the Faith Blogger: The Podcast.

@estherfleeceallen, your book has inspired these past two podcasts and I cannot express my gratitude enough. Jesus is who makes it all worth it.

I’m not faking fine any longer. Thanks to @estherallen for writing this book and inspiring these two episodes of Shannon the Faith Blogger. I’m not faking fine anymore, because I’m not fine.

My fuse is lengthening, not just because of therapy but because of the ultimate therapist: Jesus. Listen now on the faith blogger podcast!

I did a 180 when I met Him. When I gave my heart to Jesus, He turned my life upside down and all around and I couldn’t be more grateful. Listen to it on the faith blogger podcast right now!

All the avocados and essential oils can’t fulfill your heart like Jesus can.

There is only one answer to the problem behind racism: Find Peace with God. - Billy Graham

@realdonaldtrump didn’t read my blog, so now I’m giving him another platform to hear me on: my podcast.

I’m not going to lie to you. I have fallen victim to trying to fit into the Instagram “Christian Mommy Blogger” filter. I post, and post, and blog and blog some more. But if I wasn’t leading you to the Father through it, it would just be a bunch of noise and nonsense. I don’t pretend to be immune to the “people-pleasing” disease, I’ve been afflicted all my life. But, when Jesus met me and saved me, I decided to shift my focus from me to Him. The moment I met Jesus was the moment my life stopped and His mission began. No amount of Instagram followers could change the resurrection power of my Lord Jesus Christ. But it doesn’t stop me from trying. I fall victim to following the latest “social media preacher” from time to time, too. But when the “message” of the newest preacher in sneakers is one of shame and self-loathing, you should know better than to consider it Gospel.

Job’s story highlights a lot of bad days and bad breaks in his life. Which is sad, because Job was God’s guy: the guy who feared the Lord and lived by all of His commandments. If there was a college course in being a Christian, Job would have most certainly been the valedictorian. He lived such a God-fearing life that God and Satan got into a “She’s All That” sort-of bet over Job and his soul. He was stricken with boils all over his body and lost his family and livelihood and everything important to him in a matter of moments. His seemingly perfect marriage went by the wayside when his wife saw what a sad mess he had turned into; and instead of praying to God and asking Him for relief, she turns to Job and pretty much tells him to kick rocks in Old Testament terms. Give this guy his own reality show already!

You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? - Matthew 5:13

Jesus loves you.

I’ve got a little extra dose of encouragement for you this week! Praying for you through whatever season God has you in. ♥️ He’s with you and He loves you.

Tell me I’m not the only one who breaks down in grocery store parking lots and praises God in storms I cause myself. If this sounds like you, I’ve got a word for you on the podcast today. ♥️

I choose to talk to you all throughout my podcast about the reckless love of Jesus Christ. This episode talks about what it means to be a Christian, and how politics should have no bearing on your relationship with the Father. You know, just a light Thursday afternoon episode.

I’ve gotta preach something to you this morning. There IS another option besides religion: it’s called a relationship with Jesus and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.

Taking a social media break seems to be more fun than fasting. I urge you to jump on this bandwagon, but I totally get it if you can’t give up Instagram. I’m right there with you, friend.

What kind of Christian are you? We are answering that question today on Shannon the Mommy Blogger: The Podcast.

Minimalism and tidy sock drawers are just some things that spark joy for me. The main joy sparker in my life, though, is Jesus. I hope you find your joy in Him, too.

All of us are works in progress. Luckily, Jesus is in the restoration business.

What would happen if I dropped the Scrub Daddy and picked up a paintbrush? Would I be able to survive if the kitchen sink stayed filled with dishes? This episode is all about giving the Master our mess and watching Him transform it into a masterpiece.

Ever find yourself looking for a sign that God is real? Have you tried looking in a mirror? You are the sign. ♥️

Instead of shaming our fellow mamas, what would happen if we celebrated them instead? Raising up a cold cup of coffee to toast you, fellow mama in the trenches. You’ve got this. ♥️

This a love letter to all my mamas out there feeling bone tired and worn out. I’ve got you, girl. ♥️

I’ve got the cure to comparison right here, friend. Hint: it’s Jesus.

We are talking grief and bean dip, people. No one can ever say I didn’t deliver the Good News of the Gospel with some flair now!

A mini-testimony about how wonderful God is and how much He loves you. (And of course, the babies are in the background making all the noises!

It’s not easy to love your enemies and trade your yoke. But nothing worth having in life is easy.

Devil, this is my war cry. My kiddos even join in on the war cry a few times or two!

God met me in a meltdown over veggies.

Jesus loves you, this podcast is here to act as a vessel for that fact.
